When you kill the AI in Lake Manyara (Rhino guards) you get some lockout. For all my characters (including ones that take their sweet time killing the boss) the lockout is still there upon finishing the boss. In some cases it means I have to wait literally 5 minutes before I can leave.
IIRC this lockout was introduced to stop people from camping back before the UZ was instanced, and is now an archaic and useless feature which should probably be removed now. _________________ I would like to think the line "excuse me but can I get a shitpost?" is fairly polite. |

It's still possible to farm the first rhino level. That's what the lockout is there to prevent. But it could easily be reduced to 5 minutes from 10.

I've never seen them re-spawn in there anymore... Edit: yeah i'm going to have go say .... they don't seem to respawn so this lockout doesn't actually prevent shit. _________________ I would like to think the line "excuse me but can I get a shitpost?" is fairly polite. |

I've had panthers respawn in the panther level after 30 or so minutes. It's kind of a long wait cause after killing Cess I got distracted by youtube x.x

so even if assuming they respawn after 30 minutes, this lockout is preventing you from entering the galaxy for 10 minutes? lol ok

The exploit is still very much there, hence the lockout.

why not just give a lockout for the entire instance instead of a part of the instance then, so I can leave instead of waiting 5 more minutes

If there's no boss there, why not just remove the instance part of it and also remove the lockout timer? Exploit removed, annoying lockout removed, two in one.
Besides, can't you just jump into a miniboss room, kill the guards, jump out, remake squad, jump back in and repeat? So long as you don't kill the uber you don't get locked out... _________________ T21 Skills and Dailies Guide - Personal Wiki Contributions - Monthly Wiki Contributions |

Negative, as I recall any kill in Lake triggers the lockout because there is no mini uber in there. Lake has like 5 Rhinos and a Panther, then the next level has mini Rhino, and the one after that has Primal Rhino. So you can't avoid the lockout by not killing mini Rhino. However your first bit was correct, since there is nothing of importance in Lake, the instancing could simply be removed. |

Does it matter if they respawn? That 10 minute lockout on the first level is there to prevent players from going in, farm gear/augs and then going back out, make a new squad and repeat. Doesn't have anything to do with boss lockouts. So yes, that lockout should stay there imo.
